Nambotin chain sponsor
What the heck kind of chain is Nambotin running?
Three DNFs due to chain problems. Now he is in 4th place in the WEC races. |

Might be a less than optimal chain guide design...

I was thinking the same thing. I hope he can recover a few places in France.

He should run Les's guide bracket. I whacked mine hard dropping off a ledge Sunday, stoipped and could not beleive there was no damage.

Les isn't making them any longer - but it would be a good design for GasGas to emulate. The honda XR chain guide, in my opinion, is the best design ever made...

Clay,
Its an adapter bracket that was designed and sold by LTR for some time that allows the use of a Honda XR chain guide. Its as close to indestructable as you can get. I'd be willing to bet one is sitting on a shelf somewhere at an old dealer, my brother found an LTR impeller this way. I have been wondering if Les would consider making a run of them now that the prospect of GG sales looks good. |

We use the mc bracket and tm design works chain guide and "knock on wood" we have had no issues. I believe moose offers the same bracket. Pu part #01-017BRK We are in the northeast and I am pretty sure its rocky up here. Hope he gets it ironed out.

The big difference between the LTR bracket/Honda guide and the TM Design Works parts I have seen is the LTR/XR Guide is all stiff plastic with a rubber bottom slider and NO METAL frame, so it does not bend and stay bent in a hit. It simply flexes slightly and returns to position in even the most severe impacts. I've found some bent bolts occasionally on disassembly that mount the rubber slider puck to the sides but you would never know by looking at it. The one on my '07 is the same one I installed on my '03 when it was new. Over seven years on two bikes, thats how tough it is, and its nasty here.
